Use GoSMS.

I not a fan of gosms
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Then you will need to switch off wifi to send mms. It works some of the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
What about using Airplane Mode and WiFi because that will not work so i'm guessing even though there's WiFi it still doesn't work. And it needs the Radio still needed to be on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Ugh I cannot get bluetooth to autoconnect to my car radio. Does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes it just refuses to connect, as well.. will say "Paired but not connected", I tap to connect... then nothing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Future questions of this sort belong in q and a.

Did you make your device discoverable and enter code?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
try handcent? i hear it works as good as gosms to fix the mms issue... basically, it's that the stock messenger can't send mms over wifi. so if you're having that specific problem, the workaround is to try a third party messaging app until the devs get it figured out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djmeph:
I can confirm, I have not had to re-flash gapps unless I update from Rom Manager. Even if you check the box next to gapps in Rom Manager when updating, you'll still likely have to go through the authentication process and manually set all the gapps to sync again. This is why I reboot into recovery and flash. Have yet to have a problem that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
+1 here, i have updated from rom manager once and had to reflash gapps. powering all the way down and three-finger booting into cwm resolves this issue for me, too.

I still had video skipping when recording on n27. I will try 28 later but before I have a chance has anyone else tried it yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I've had this happen as well with a 'normal' bluetooth headset. Not a car, so that's not the culprit. It's been a little quirky for as long as I remember, certainly since Gingerbread, on non-CM7 ROMs as well.

The first thing I would do is a reboot of the phone and if that doesn't solve it (which it almost always does) then I would just re-pair it. A bit of a pain, but doesn't take more than a minute to do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rumi409:
This is a great ROM. Had some issues installing, but once installed, everything is very smooth. However, I'm having some issues with the proximity sensor. When I pick up a call and place the phone against my ear, the screen still stays on. Is this a know bug? Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
i've flashed almost every nightly and never had that problem... maybe a bad d/l or a bad flash? check the md5 sum and compare it against the md5 under the link where u downloaded from. if it matches, reflash. if not, redownload.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Yes, the device is already paired.. I can connect manually, but I cannot autoconnect. On TW-based ROMs, I can have BT enabled on my phone, turn the car on and it would autoconnect and start streaming music. Now, I need to turn the car on, go into the BT menu (with BT already enabled), tap the car audio device a few times (since the first few connects never work), and then hope it eventually connects. I can't say auto connect has ever worked on CM7 for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
same issue on n28
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
In my experience, if bt is on before I get in the car, it pairs automatically. If I turn bt on after I get in, I need to pair manually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Yes, BT is 100% always on before I enter the car. I turn it on (and wifi off) before I even leave the house.

Reboot issue, GPS laggy

I was having spontaneous reboot issues so I installed Nightly 27. Everything was smooth as silk until I went to use the GPS. It was very laggy. Good thing I knew where I was because otherwise, I would have gotten lost. When I got home, I installed GPS_Fix and the phone started the nasty rebooting again so I went back to Nightly 27. It's too early to say whether GPS_Fix was the culprit but it's my prime suspect. So how can I improve my GPS response?
[Epic 4G Android Development] paullueders223:
Same issue here as well, the video looks like it records fine and then when you play it it studders like entire recorded sections are missing. I use quickpic to view recorded videos, works with old movies no studder. Will try moboplayer to test and get back to you guys.

There is a free app in the Market, Bluetooth Reconnector, that turns on my bluetooth and keeps it connected until I turn it off. Have you tried it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I installed N27 through ROM Manager and did not have to reflash gapps. There is more to this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
have had no issues with GPS on this rom. the fix should not be applied
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
There has been some talk earlier in this thread about JuiceDefender being the culprit for the phone being awake and unnecessary battery drain. I have been using JD for a while now and always had excellent battery life with this rom. Today, I decided to test without. So I disabled, JD, and set my email to never check, but left background data and autosync on. Battery life is much worse. I would normally get through work only losing 10%, and here it is, after lunch and already in the upper 70s %. With my somewhat unscientific test concluded, I don't believe that JD is the culprit for anyone's bad battery life.

Interesting side note, using exchange for my email and having it set to never check, it still received email. Not sure how that works...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Namorbrowneyes:
Anyone been able to load any themed swype keyboards? No matter if I fix permissions and reboot it still will force close. Or does anyone have the swype tthat comes with the nightlys? I deleted mine..oops.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ajf64:
any reason why we are still on rc0 when we have had 28 nightly updates and almost a flawless working CM7.2 system on the epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I wouldn't say almost flawless. Once a few more things are worked out though I would agree the rc should probably be updated for the masses.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rumi409:
MD5 was fine and I'm using the RC0. I re-flashed and the problem is still there. Will try a nightly build when I get home.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
+1 installed nightlies via ROM manager thrice without having to flash gapps
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
I have this issue too. It's been this way since the new wifi driver push. I haven't had a chance to fully hunt the issue down.

The main problem seems to be that something is being shut off when the phone goes to sleep that shouldn't be. I don't see how, unless something in the platform code didn't get change that needed to with the new wifi driver.

nightly-2 auto-reconnects just fine, this was before the new wifi driver.

The work-around is to plug your phone into a car charger. It will keep the phone awake (this is another bag of worms), and bluetooth will work fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
You can get most of the benefit of JuiceDefender just by using a 3G data toggle widget. Some of the advanced features of JuiceDefender (gps-based radio settings and such) are fairly counter-productive in terms of battery savings. JD is nice for an automated solution but for a lot of people it's another constantly running/waking process. The most battery savings comes from disabling 3G(to a lesser extent Wifi) while the screen is off. I used to really like JuiceDefender but I've been happy to avoid it lately.

Edit:

Also +1, I've installed nightlies 18 through 27 (skipping a few) all through ROM Manager and have never had to re-flash gapps or threefinger install of CM. Just always checked off to install Gapps, have it do a backup and to clear the cache. Only time it failed was when my SD card was full (from previous backups). It's possible IMO that people having issues with flashes from ROM Manager is because doesn't MD5 check - it really should.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
I went from RC0 to N14 to N28, always through CWM and only clearing Dalvik and cache.

I haven't had issues with Gapps. They're always there after the flash.

Figured I'd add my report...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I've a pregunta for you smarti-panstses.

I just installed nightly 28, from ROM manager, and I had it Wipe my Data & Cache...and I did not have to flash gapps.

Does this seem odd to you? I thought it would have wiped everything-everything?

UPDATE: I just rebooted into CWM, scorched-earth-WIPED x 2 (for good measure). Booted up, and it's asking me to add a Google account? Am I mistaken, or does that indicate that gapps is built in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeEx:
Flashing gapps injects it into the ROM partition. you never need to flash it again unless coming back from a TW ROM.

Flashing Gapps more than once after flashing CM7 the first time will cause trouble.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Agreed, people should operate from recovery and stop using the app. Would greatly cutdown issues. I always wiped cache and dalvik and flashed nightly over w 0 issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Thank you sir Mike =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
I don't have a copy of nightly 2, do I can't confirm, but if I recall, the issue I had on nightly 2 and prior, in Vlingo, when I'd activate the Bluetooth, I'd get feedback with the Bluetooth Mic and speakerphone on the phone for one second, then the speakerphone would disconnect, but I'd get Bluetooth to connect every time. Now with the newer builds, no feedback, but the Bluetooth will only connect one time in Vlingo. After that, it will only use the phone Mic and speakerphone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Keep in mind, CM 7.2 stable doesn't exist for any device. My guess, they'll call CM 7.2 final, when they've backported and stabalized everything they can from ICS. 7.2 will become a "value pack" for CM GB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Fyi... I have had to always re install google apps after a nightly flash. I also have to do some apps. Not a big deal though with titanium. I always install from recovery three finger not from ROM manager.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Does flashing the nightly and google apps have something to do with stock kernel as i never keep stock, i like 1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No, not at all.

BTW what do you mean you like 1.2?

And Just for the record, i always Nandroid->Flash Nightly->Wipe Cache Part. & Dalvik 3x->Flash Kernel (Samurai)->Smooth Scrolling Mod->Reboot.

Now i know you say 3x is not needed but i never had not one bad flash ever in the 1.5 years of owning this Epic and flashing anything that requires being wiped.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I always thought you were supposed to wipe before flashing...looks like you flash then wipe the caches?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I have never wiped 3 times and have never had a bad flash... not even with the older cwm... just saying... so installed from rom manager and had to reflash gapps... decided to test out the three finger... nand back and did it from 3 finger recovery and gapps was intact....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I always use three finger boot, though I really liked the convenience of rom manager, it wasn't worth all the headaches it was giving me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Because your flashing nightlies over CM7 only on CM7. do not do this if you flash over a different rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i've never once had a problem with flashing from rom manager for every nightly since it started, except for losing Gapps if i didnt' check it. since i started checkign Gapps i've never had a problem since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
out of curiousity, you can only d/l the nightlies from rom manager paid, right? but is everyone that is flashing nightlies in r.m. using the paid version, or are ppl downloading it independently and then flashing thru the free version? or are the people that are successful in flashing it thru rom manager using the paid version while the unsuccessful ones don't get the option to also install the gapps? that would definitely create/explain the entire issue.

edit: either way, it's the same. you DO actually have to reinstall gapps every time u flash a nightly if u flash through rom manager; not so from the 3finger method...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
That is correct, only on paid version. That is a very good point and well worth looking into.

Sent from my Cyan Seppuku Samurai Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
it's actually old news, i remember them saying this when they first started publishing nightlies. i also remember not wanting to pay for r.m. when the free version worked just as good ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i had paid for it so long ago when i thought it was useful that i want to get my money's worth ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Yeah, I bought it back when I was on froyo right after srf 1.2 was released and didn't use it much, but now it has more uses for me so I might as well get my money out of it. ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I use te paid and still have to reflash gapps so don't think that has anything to do with it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
it sounds like there's a setting (that you must be missing) to reflash gapps with the paid version that must be selected. either way still, gapps need to be reflashed when updating nightlies from rom manager.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
I am having trouble with getting the 3G to work. When I first flashed it, it seemed to work ok but out of no where it stopped working as if my Boost account was shut off (it's not, I checked). I flashed back to my previous rom and it worked fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Idk I selectt gapps also but its always missing if I use rom manager... I like the 3 finger method anyways so not a big deal to me... only used rom manager a couple times to check and everytime gapps was not left intact...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
well, i guess that blows my one and only theory out of the water... U SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!!! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Qwallace70129:
N29 is up. Nothing on the changelog site for it. Hell its not even listed.

Edit.... changelog shows it now. No changes listed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
Rom size is the same. I am guessing its just an auto build with no new updates. Thats fine with me though as it means they are too busy working on cm9 ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
What version of cm7 are you using? Try toggling airplaine mode a couple of times. Sometimes that works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Since first nightly, I have downloaded directly from website using Dolphin Browser. I boot to recovery using unpaid ROM Manager and have been flashing nightlies ever since with no problems ever (knocks wood). I have never had to reflash gapps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
I download from the nightly website, and flash through recovery. I hardly use rom manager

Sent from my Cyanogenmodded Epic4g! Wanna fight about it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Master K:
I download from web, edit the zip (I replace audio, fonts and remove unneeded apps). I then flash with Rom Manager (paid) doing a backup and clearing dalvik and I have NEVER had to re flash Gapps. Once the Market FC'ed a bunch but a fix permissions took care of that.

One question for folks that have to flash gapps. Are you moving updates to the system with Titanium or something else? it occurs to me that gmail, maps and market are all on my data partition and not system since they were updated. That probably makes them stay after a flash. Just an idea.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Why do u need to boot to recovery with rom manager? I just hit reboot on the power menu and pick recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
He isn't using rom manager's "reboot to recovery" option, he is using the "install rom from sd" option, which happens to reboot to recovery in the process - but it then proceeds to automatically install the zip and reboot, without having to interact with recovery at all

Edit: his wording does seem to imply that I am wrong - sounds like he is just using the reboot option. I hope he didn't pay for rom manager to only use a function that is already built in to the rom ;)

(Unless he just had money to spare to support the dev - nothing wrong with that)
[Epic 4G Android Development] djmeph:
I bought Rom Manager shortly after RC0 came out so I could use it to "auto-update" the nightly builds. I seem to have tried it every way possible through Rom Manager, and no matter what I do, I at least have to go through it seems every app and re-authenticate. This does not happen when I flash from CWM. I feel like this is a Rom Manager issue, and not a dev issue, so we should probably take this discussion to another thread. The right question to ask the devs at Rom Manager, is why it can't just flash the ROM in the same way CWM does to get the exact same results.

Edit: I never clear any of the caches before applying a nightly update, and I have not yet had an issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I agree. I just do the manual method (regular reboot can get you to recovery if you hit the three finger combo as soon as it powers down to reboot - this works for versions where the built-in recovery reboot function is broken, by the way). Never had a prooblem with gapps that way :)

That's your opinion but with kernel sanders, and samurai. I get better battery life, more smoothness, and a better exp. Just saying. Stock is ok if you don't want more power or you do nothing. Except for small things is all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Its under samurai kernel thread at the top on OP under CM7 Kernel and is flashable through CWM
[Epic 4G Android Development] presumedsublime:
The one stated above works but is annoying since you have yo re flash after each nightly. I used it for a while but started using the long press back button to kill apps under settings,apps,development. It does the exact same thing and is much more convenient. All you have to do is hold the back button instead of tapping it and the app you were using is killed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
There's no other way to have it. It's a system application ported for cm7 and nightly updates wipe and replace your system. If your looking for better task management just run one of the older versions of v6 supercharger like version 8 (this is because the newer versions edit things in system like the build.prop, but version 8 only adds the new values to data as a bootup script).
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah but you go into CWM and flash the nightly anyway so why not flash one other thing haha I'm sure its not killing you to do one more thing lol. But like Zeinzu said that's why.
